Beauty Crush Wednesdays #BCW: Gugu Mbatha-Raw

I think our Beauty Crush segment is by and far my favorite segment to cover, mostly because I get to spotlight fabulous and beautiful women 24/7! Today’s subject of choice? The ever-stunning beauty, Gugu Mbatha-Raw.gugu mbatha raw Marie+Claire+Hosts+Fresh+Faces+Party+Celebrating+5ejkaWZ4QHYxSnapshot Zendaya, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Kylie Jenner by Tesh for Marie ClaireWith parents originally from England and South Africa, Gugu grew up in Oxford, England and was active in the arts from a young age. Though she’s had a stellar acting career that has only expanded, many people (myself included) truly learned about her after seeing her in Beyond The Lights.Snapshot Zendaya, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, and Kylie Jenner by Tesh for Marie Claire2Gugu Mbatha-Raw 47th+NAACP+Image+Awards+Presented+TV+One+Red+n71eCHynjhfxIn 2014, Mbatha-Raw was recognized by Elle Magazine during the Women in Hollywood Awards, honoring women for their outstanding achievements in film, spanning all aspects of the motion picture industry, including acting, directing, and producing.Gugu+Mbatha+Raw+EE+British+Academy+Film+Awards-ralph-lauren-2With an upcoming project (an adaptation of Roxane Gay’s novel An Untamed State), Mbatha-Raw is surely on a role with her constant work in film and media.Gugu-Mbatha-Raw--Concussion-NY-Premiere

Now let’s talk about her beauty. A natural one at that, Gugu’s beauty aesthetic is perhaps as minimalist as they get in Hollywood.gugu-mbatha-raw-2014-governors-awards-oscar-de-la-renta-dress-clutch-2A nice matte finish for the skin, Gugu tends to stick with very neutral palettes (though she can and will surprise us every now and again with a bold lip). Cascading beachy waves make up her hair routine, and she’s off!

With a deep charcoal eyewear look, Gugu’s makeup aesthetic is always on point! Even in her high editorial shoots, she never strays too far from her comfort zone and what she knows works for her! Honey, I ain’t mad at it.

Beauty Bomb: Ciara’s 2016 CFDA Awards Boho Waves, Styled by Cesar Ramirez

Ciara was easily one of the best dressed at the 2016 CFDA Awards! Her blush pink Roberto Cavalli dress was so chic—stylist to the stars Cesar Ramirez used its bohemian-inspired vibe as the starting point for her free-flowing waves.

Ciara+2016+CFDA+Fashion+Awards+Arrivals-ciara-cesar-ramirez-hair-2

“I was really inspired by the bohemian feel of Ciara’s Cavalli dress,” said Ramirez. “I also wanted the hair to match the bohemian look, so I kept it soft and just added a different texture then our usual styles.” Here are the steps to recreate her look:

1. Cesar started on dry hair and parted it in four sections. He then lightly sprayed $17 MIZANI HRM Humidity Resistant Mist on each section.

2. Next, he braided each section and flat ironed the braid. This created texture and a slight wave.

3. Once Cesar had the texture he wanted, he then tucked and pinned each side behind each ear—leaving a small section of hair in front of each ear.

4. To set the look, he added more HRM spray for a light hold.

Fashion News: Beyonce And All The Other CFDA Awards 2016 Winners

The CFDA Awards are known to most as the Oscars of the fashion industry. And though they are in for a bit of competition with the impending revamp of the British Fashion Awards, for now, they are arguably the most important fashion awards on the calendar.

Beyonce+Knowles+2016+CFDA+Fashion+Awards+Show-2This year’s event, hosted by Joel McHale, had not only a dinner but Jennifer Hudson as a special performance. Oh, and less we forget, there was the surprise appearance by Beyonce who picked up the Fashion Icon Award, a mere two years after Rihanna snatched the same honor.

Bey’s speech was heartening with the star tracing her connection to fashion back to her grandmother who became a seamstress to put Momma Tina through Catholic school. The most interesting thing? Beyonce did take the moment to check the industry saying, “When we were starting out in Destiny’s Child, high-end labels didn’t really want to dress four black, country, curvy girls.” She went on to encourage the industry to remember diversity. “I encourage you to not forget this power that we have or take it lightly. We have the opportunity to contribute to a society where any girl can look at a billboard or a magazine cover and see her own reflection.”

Here, here!

Keep reading for the CFDA Awards 2016 Winners:
